Tamara Rojo with Charles Acosta in a Royal Ballet production that pales in comparison with the live HD broadcasts from the Met that are now drawing ful houses at the movies. This was prerecorded and did not live up to the technological specifications that are now deemed standard. Like for example being able to hear the dancers moving across the stage, this is all drowned out by the music and they seem strangely silent. I prefer the rough and tumble of the live opera to this where you can hear every squel of the floorboards and you feel as if you are right there. If this was done live I might appreciate it more.
